different from what I have, so I'd like to avoid potential
confusion and reduce work by the official maintainer and myself.

Thanks.  The most notable change is that debhelper isn't used to do the
packaging stuff, and the build-dependency has been dropped; this is
after my personal preference.

Below is the diff for reference, I think though it might be better if
you don't include the debian/ directory in the upstream package at all.

One upside in Junio's debian packages is that they[1] work also in
sarge[2]. If he stops building them, we sarge users will miss them.
Any volunteers to maintain them, for example, through backports.org?

[1] at least git-core and git-doc work
[2] Debian 3.1
